RANSDUCER
Before you install the Slim Cell Transducer you should perform the following steps:
1. Review the safety considerations (Section 2.2.1)
2. Assemble the mounting hardware and review the torque fastener information (Section 2.2.2)
3. Reference the mounting dimensions (Section 2.2.3)
4. Determine a mounting location (Section 2.2.4)
5. Determine an appropriate mounting style (Section 2.2.5)
2.2.1 S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS
Safety should not be an afterthought. Before installing, servicing or calibrating review and follow applicable policies
and procedures to ensure worker safety. Machinery must be in a safe state and be aware of any additional hazards
that can arise when installing and calibrating higher force transducers.
The following points are important to remember:
• Check that all hardware is mounted with appropriate fasteners (thread size and pitch,
fastener grade, length of thread engagement).
• When “dead-weights” are used to produce calibration forces, always wear steel-toed
shoes.
• When manually handling calibration weights and rolls, use safe lifting practices to avoid
injury.
• Size cordage or straps with ample safety factors to reduce the chances of failure and
falling weights.
• Consider where the cords and weights will travel to should a failure occur.
